yeah... because you know what everyone against climate change knows and does not know... And I'd wager that if you were to interview everyone
participating in the climate change debate there would be many different sides, not just two.

But everyone knows as per american politics everything always at all times breaks down into black or white stereotypes.....

Of course, I have to ask you when you decided that the gas you exhale that plants need like you need oxygen became pollution ...

Excuse me while I laugh.

You must be willfully ignoring the things I have been writing on this thread in order for you to write this statement:

All the people against climate change

Because if you were paying attention you would have surely read the part where I wrote about global warming distracting from the very real and
verifiable pollution concerns.

There are real and verifiable pollution concerns, but none of those are global in scale and offer TPTB the opportunity to impose taxes on you for
simply being alive.

The people pushing the man-made global warming trend angle aren't concerned with temperature figures of any kind. The only numbers that interest them
have a $ in front and a lot of 0's following.

So are the deniers. They already have indusry with lot of money and they dont want to give way to new industry. Both sides have their agenda. One
wants to keep poluting and producing the other wants to make money off peoples compassion.

There is no way to deny we have caused the extinction of literally millions of microbes, plants, animals, and bacteria. All those things contribute to
climate.

Stop crying with this bs.

Before man ever took a single breath, 99.9% of all the life forms in this planets history had become extinct.

This is what life does, it dies and gets replaced by a more suitable form.

Oh I get it, when nature kills 99.9% of all species it is fine....when man kills 0.01% of all species we are evil and must starve to death and
die....

Do you even think or research before you type this bs?

We kill at least .01 every year. Between 200 -2000 species. Its funny that you use a timeline of billions of years compaired to a hundred.

If we stopped using fossil fuels 7 billion would die? Thats real science for you.

ice ages happen from a variety of circumstances.
Less solar wind allow more cosmic rays. Cosmic rays
help create cloud formations which cool the earth and
may trigger magnetic changes,which can lead to more volcanic activity. youtu.be...youtu.be...

I get it i am not for carbon taxing. I am as libertarian as it gets.
If you dont think any pollution is of global concern you are fooling yourself.

You cannot preserve everything that is or was and new things will be. That is the nature of evolution.

Since we have only been paying attention for such a brief span of time, you cannot say with any certainty if what we are observing are normal rates of
extinction or not for many of those species. There is simply no way to know what all the niche species were in the extinct biospheres of prehistoric
times. Your kidding yourself if you think we have the complete fossil record of every one.

We still don't know every living species out there today.

Your partly right. We can not say how many species we have on the planet. We can however say how many are effected by man made habitat destruction. We
cant say exactly how many in total but we have and cetainly do have record of thousands of species destroyed from industry. We luckily have a science
called biology, those biologists research food chains, habitat, climate change (natural or otherwise because yes we have changed microclimates in the
rainforests for example).

The people pushing the man-made global warming trend angle aren't concerned with temperature figures of any kind. The only numbers that interest them
have a $ in front and a lot of 0's following.

um....

No fossil fuels no cars yruks ships tractors combines...etc...

Yes billions would starve obviously.

Who do you think feeds the world? Hint a major source if the worlds food is Americas Midwest "farm belt".

Without transportation, like fossil fuel powered ships, it would spoil long before it arrived.

Without fossil fuel powered farm equipment, it would not even be possible to produce.

Without fossil fuel powered trucks it could not even reach a port to not be shipped since there aren't any ships.....

Pollution is a local concern. A factory does not pollute globally. It pollutes locally. China's factories are China's problem.

I do not need to be taxed for a factory in another place. You do not need to be taxed for a factory in another place. The people in that place need to
take care of it.

Thats pretty ignorant. Your telling me migration doesnt happen? You dont eat chinese shrimp in a restraunt or do you always ask where the food is
from? So nothing travels in winds and currents? What about toxic goods brought to the us from china?

The actual scientists focus on the last 800 years, then time since the Industrial Revolution, and then yes recent times.

Also, yes statistics can be manipulated, but aren't always.

It always sounds like people that are deniers haven't really read the fundamental main science papers. These science papers very specifically address
virtually all counter points, including your guys' claim that we are just in a natural cycle. All of the climate scientists know that there are
natural cycles, better than everyone on here.

They very specifically state that natural cycles, sun spot cycles, natural change, DO NOT account for all of the change we are seen, and they have
proven that statistically. This is the point.

The people pushing the man-made global warming trend angle aren't concerned with temperature figures of any kind. The only numbers that interest them
have a $ in front and a lot of 0's following.

What bs are you talking about?

Oh I assume you meant well reasoned, thought out replies.

Bs Indeed

I think you said 7 billion. And its a bs argument. So the guys keeping alternate tech out of the market through massive lobby power have kept other
means from being viable. All those diesel combines run fine off veg refuse oil which is what they were designed to run off during german depression.

Of course we cant stop overnight and thats where your argument looses. It will take brave people like elon musk, bucky fuller, tesla designing things
that change our habits.

This is why there are, or should be, standards imposed on goods brought from countries that refuse to impose standards. Also we have our own standards
on foods caught in our waters.

However, I must ask you - if China is such a problem, how is punishing the US even more going to address that? Curtailing what we do isn't going to
change what China does. What you're saying is that if you have a big tumor in the right lung, you ought to cut off part of the left lung to make it
better.

You cannot preserve everything that is or was and new things will be. That is the nature of evolution.

Koala's and cheetahs come to mind here....they are self exterminating.

This is just an example of the anti climate change crowd cherry picking data points.

It is cute how a lot of the resident anti man made climate faithful are up and already claiming victory over the climate debate because of this story.

Human ignorance is truly infinite.

Ignorance huh, how come my NASA meteorologist friend nearly died because they wanted him to shut up about the data manipulation? They didn't dare
risk firing him, so they tried to kill him instead, when that failed, he got the message, shut up.

Don't take this the wrong way but your friend telling you something is not really helpful. Do I believe you? Maybe. Can it be proven? No..

My NASA meteorologist friend was open with everyone about "climate change" being a fraud before the "incident".

Can I prove it, no, not without risking his life again. Can I prove it was them who tried to kill him, no, but it was done with a super secret high
tech weapon, and I lived as a military spouse at the place it was tested and know it is real. If his wife had not been present he would have died
immediately instead of being revived.

I know this sounds nut job, but after spending over 50 years as a military brat/spouse who most of my life, people "forgot" I was in the room or
thought my probing questions were innocent conversation making. So I have been privy to top secret stuff since childhood and have quietly, in the
background heard the talk of white house military staff and congress persons etc; all while appearing to be an innocent child or good wife.

I KNOW without a doubt that the government regularly lies to the American people, and even on a quite grand scale. Can I prove any of those lies,
no. There is only one I was a party to myself and it was so long ago I can't prove that one. I was a teenager working for JAG as "summer hire"
and the secretary went on a typing "strike" of sorts. I typed up, illegally I might ad (because the stuff was top secret and I had no clearance), but
was required to type up true accounts of things that happened, and then type up the false explanation that went to the press and family members of
affected personnel.

Climate change has been an excuse to control the populace
and extort money from the populace
for the government. Of that, I am quite certain, but could never prove.

Remember, most of the claims of deniers have been addressed over and over again.
